[00:10]I sleep in a storefront doorway
[00:15]You can see me everywhere
[00:19]As I hold my hand out for money
[00:24]No-body seems to care
[00:29]They don't want to know my story
[00:33]They've heard it all before
[00:37]I'm just another beggar on the street
[00:42]Who always asks for more
[00:48]Let me lie down in green pastures
[00:52]Let me gaze upon the stars
[00:56]Let me wake to the sound of birdsong
[01:01]And the playing of guitars
[01:05]Let me roll in the arms of someone
[01:08]Whose smile is the light of dawn
[01:12]And I will lay me down in peace at last
[01:17]To a new day being born
[01:30]My body's thin and dirty
[01:34]And I'm shaking from the cold
[01:38]There's no way out but further down
[01:42]And I'll die before I'm old
[01:46]Do not worry, keep on walking
[01:50]You can turn the other way
[01:54]I'm not in the mood for talking
[01:58]And I've nothing left to say
[02:05]Let me lie down in green pastures
[02:09]Let me gaze upon the stars
[02:13]Let me wake to the sound of birdsong
[02:17]And the playing of guitars
[02:21]Let me roll in the arms of someone
[02:24]Whose smile is the light of dawn
[02:29]And I will lay me down in peace at last
[02:32]To a new day being born
[03:10]In this brutal land of plenty
[03:14]It's only plenty for the few
[03:18]And my pocket's always empty
[03:22]And there's nothing I can do
[03:26]Nothing for the needy
[03:30]And only pity for the poor
[03:34]I'm still sleeping in a doorway
[03:37]And I can't take it anymore
[03:44]Let me lie down in green pastures
[03:48]Let me gaze upon the stars
[03:52]Let me wake to the sound of birdsong
[03:56]And the playing of guitars
[04:00]Let me roll in the arms of someone
[04:04]Whose smile is the light of dawn
[04:08]And I will lay me down in peace at last
[04:13]To a new day being born
[04:18]Lay me down in peace at last
[04:22]To a new day being born
